One Piece: Dark Empire

A quarter of an hour later.

Palaulong, who was in the prime of his life, walked quickly through the mountains and forests with three or four of his men.

His station, on the island of Geelong, is fifty kilometers from the town of Versailles, not to mention the busy affairs of the recent management of "goods", so he hurried and still failed to catch Hobby's banquet.

A little further on, a corner of the banquet hall could already be seen in the distance, and Palau suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Something happened!"

"Go and inform the brothers who remain on the ship personally, and tell them to hurry up and bring the guys over." In addition, see if you can contact several other bosses, as well as the brothers who guard the town of Versailles.

After instructing his subordinates, Palau pulled out his pistol and said in a cold tone: "The others follow me!" I would like to see who dares to mess with us in the town of Versailles!

With that, he led the men into the woods and outflanked the banquet hall from the rear.

The closer he got to the banquet hall, the more strange Palau felt: Why was there no sound inside? If Captain Hobby was really fighting the enemy inside, it wouldn't have been so quiet.

Could it be

He had a faint premonition, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, his steps slowed down, and he became more cautious.

When he finally approached the banquet hall, Palau hid in the shadows behind the trees, completely losing his previous confidence, and silently stared at the broken door of the banquet hall, uncertain.

In his cognition, the one who could carry out such a fierce artillery attack was either the navy fleet or the sea pirates galloping across the North Sea.

How could these two forces target a gang leader in a small town?

What is the purpose of the other party? Seeking revenge? Seeking wealth? Or .

. For those goods?

He thought about it for a long time, and his mind was still a mess, but if he didn't figure it out, it was difficult to feel at ease, after all, those "goods" were now in his hands.

After thinking about it, Palau said to one of his subordinates:

"Go and see what is going on inside, and be careful not to be discovered."

"Yes!"

The man led the way, quite shrewdly, wandering between the gaps between the grass and the trees, stopping and stopping, sometimes hurrying, fighting wits with the air, and gradually approaching the banquet hall.

After approaching the wall, he pressed his back against the wall, followed the gap in the wall, and quietly looked inward.

The next moment, in Palau's perspective, he only saw his subordinate sticking his head over, suddenly his face changed greatly, stunned mixed with heavy horror, and then returned along the same road with a lost soul.

"What's going on inside? Say it!

When the man returned, he grabbed his subordinate by the shoulder and asked eagerly.

"Corpse! It's full of corpses! Not a single living person! The

man swallowed a mouthful of spit, was shocked, and spoke a little incoherently.

"I saw Captain Hobby, Six-Fingered Fred, the big-headed brothers, and Madman Krim... They...... They are all dead! The bodies were also laid together, like... It's like a puzzle..." "

Captain Hobby, it's really dead!"

Palau's heart sank, not sad.

He is not Hobby's diehard loyalist, long before Hobby's debut, he was crawling in the gang in the town of Versailles, and he is a figure with a head and a face.

When Hobie was powerful, he knew that he was invincible, so he took his men and horses to join the trend and successfully mixed up with a cadre qualification.

Others want to go to sea as pirates and compete for the position of One Piece, but he has been reluctant to leave his hometown for more than thirty years, so when he heard of Hobie's death at this time, not only was there no anger, but there was even a subtle sense of relief.

"What about the others, can you tell if anyone is not inside?"

"Brother Dexie... Brother Wig... Captain Depp... Lord of Savoie... I didn't see their bodies inside. His

men recalled the bloody scenes in the banquet hall and named several people.

"How many of them are left?"

Palau sent his hand away, matching these names to the people in his impression.

Texie the Wind Fox, the best drill camp, is responsible for managing the gang's finances.

Explosive Bull Wigg, Hobby's close follower, Hobby has been following behind him since his debut, fighting is a good hand, and the force value may rank in the top three in the gang.

Depp, the leader of the organization's assassination team, whose specific origin is unknown, was personally recruited by the captain and entrusted with a heavy task as soon as he joined.

The lord of Savoie Island is a city thrower like him, and his seniority in the gang is even several generations higher than him.

......

How many of them will be the culprit for this situation?

Palau thought silently.

"Boss Pa, what should we do now?"

One of his subordinates came to his side and whispered:

"Captain Hobby and the cadres are dead, and the town of Versailles is leaderless, so let's take advantage of it now..."

"Nope!"

Palau shook his head and said, "

The situation is not yet clear, so it is better to be careful." We will stay here now, wait for the other brothers to come and go in to see the situation in the banquet hall, and then talk about the rest.

As he spoke, he had already seen the crowds in the woods below, apparently his own large army was about to arrive.

Palau felt a little more confident, but he still stood still until the men walked to the main entrance of the banquet hall, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, and then he walked out of the woods.

"Palau, you have to give me an explanation, what is the situation?"

As soon as he appeared, there was an angry shout, and then a tall figure walked out from the crowd, his eyes widened, and he looked directly at Palau.

Burst Bull Wig!

"Wig, don't look for trouble! When I came, the banquet hall was already like this! Just in case I didn't go in and waited outside for you guys to come over, how do I know what the situation is? Palau

also had a bad tone, he was afraid of others, could he be afraid of a brainless reckless man?

"Are you sorry to say that you didn't even go in?"

Upon hearing this, Wigg became even more angry and scolded:

"Don't you know that today is the day when Captain Hobby routinely holds a banquet? Don't you worry about the captain's safety at all? I knew that today, I should have taken someone to destroy you before you surrendered!" "

Destroy me? The tone is not small!

Palau raised his eyebrows, his eyes showed extremely dangerous qi, and he sneered:

"If you want to try it now, it's not too late!"

"Don't quarrel!"

Just as the saber rattling between the two was about to erupt, an old and majestic voice sounded, dissolving most of the tense atmosphere.

Behind the crowd, two young people, one left and one right, supported an old man with a wrinkled face, and slowly walked down from the palanquin.

Savoie took the cane handed by the person next to him and stood on the ground, with vicissitudes and memories in his eyes, looking around and taking in everything in front of him.

He let out a long sigh:

"We are gangsters!" How can gangsters quarrel with people? Look who is uncomfortable, kill with a knife, suspect who is in the way, a shot collapses him, which one dares to grab business with us, then destroy him all over the door

..." "And this..."

He raised his cane and pointed to the tattered gate: "It's been bullied by others!"

"The most urgent thing is to go inside first to see the situation clearly, after that, everyone is ready to prepare when you go back, sharpen the knife and polish the gun..."
